A book i have says this...Sexing: Difficult to sex. The males dorsal fin 'may' be more pointed. so good luck haha
 
This species is extremely hard to sex. Female epalzeorhynchus bicolor sharks are usually larger than the males. The female will have a full, wide stomach and the males will be more slender.

Out curiosity why do you want to know the sex of this fish? If it's because you want to breed them, the red-tailed shark is extremely hard to breed in the home tropical fish aquarium. Most specimens that purchased in our local fish stores are bred in commerical fish farms by artificial means in Asia.
 
unless you see it laying eggs,you really cant tell
 
Ahh was just curious to know, had no intention to breed only have the one lol. Thanks anyway tho.
